Her greatest devotion was to her family. Cleo regularly arranged for family vacations and parties that brought her family together in play and new experiences to create happy and loving memories. Next to her family, the LDS Church was her greatest devotion and she filled countless callings within the church. Cleo will be remembered for her compassion and unselfishness for others. She was always supportive of others and helped them pursue passions and dreams. Her determination and work ethic was an inspiration to her children and everyone who knew her.
